8. Ghyll Foot Cottage

Ambleside Town Centre, 2.9 km from Rydal Water

"Hi, hope this helps, we found the cottage’s location is great having never been in a town one before. Great to have all the amenities to hand, we thought it had everything that one needs, just a little tired looking. Our main criticism was the lack of outdoor space for the dog, and as one of the cottage’s plus says it’s pet friendly, it is NOT. We would have considered the cottage again but only if we don’t have a dog, the likelihood of that happening is pretty slim."

Top Rydal Water Hotel Reviews

Traveller's Rest Inn

8/10 Good

"Location of the hotel very good, room was clean and well appointed, the evening meal was tasty and the service excellent. The problem came the next morning, cooked breakfast took an hour to arrive, without sausage. No real explanation until it arrived and no genuine apology. There was also lipstick on the glass that I had pored orange juice into and when I pointed this out all I got was oh dear and a giggle.we also wanted to leave early and this waiting around kept us back, . disappointing end to our stay."
